Sisyphus Loop

The story of Sisyphus is widely known, yet still compelling – as punishment for tricking his way out of the land of the dead, Sisyphus is tasked with perpetually rolling a massive boulder up a hill, only to have it roll back down. The shifting collage of the background is intended to illustrate the malleability and interchangeability of mythology, and highlight the infinity of Sisyphus’s sentence. The soundtrack is generated synthetically in real time from the shifting color values of the video (excerpt shown here).
